A couple of years ago, IFTTT did a thing where they asked people to sign up to premium and they could pay whatever they like and could keep the service forever. I didn't use many of the services, but thought it made sense to try and preserve something so useful for in case I did need it. In the meantime, I would allow it to check some RSS feeds and alert me when certain keywords came up.

Some time goes by and the ambitions of IFTTT grow, they now rename the service I pay for as Legacy. Seems ominous, but I'm only using it for RSS so nothing to worry about.

Fast forward to yesterday and I get an email to say that they're moving me to a new premium service and doubling what I pay. It left a bad taste in my mouth. I hate when companies do this. Especially when they promised I could keep my old thing at the same price forever.

Anyway, since they've clearly lost their mind in the pursuit of AI supremacy, I may as well just host this myself.

So is there a self hosted solution for RSS where I can get notifications when some RSS feeds publish indiscriminately and others when specific keywords come up?

Something I can put in a Docker container on my RPi, set and forget.

So I'm trying to build a router. Just need something to handle the networking in my house and the plan is to separate things out via virtual local area networks. Anyway, reading a bunch of threads and comments, I think my design will be something akin to this. Is this good or bad? Ultimately I wanna run OPNSense since that's what most people recommend, but wanna about x86.

Does anyone know of a local audio upscaler? Preferably Android based.

What's your directory structure right?

Are you storing everything in a flat directory or do you have things organised by author or alphabetically by title?

I'm talking about the actual files on your storage, not the front end.

This is exciting. I was surprised to see that I could see other users' documents. So I looked it up and it seems the fix is in testing. Great news!

I have a NAS which I use for storage and I have a Pi which I use for serving applications.

I thought I could just throw Calibre Web on the Pi, point it to my NAS and then be good to go. Charlie_Murphy_Wrong.gif

So Calibre Web said it needed a Calibre database, cool. I installed Calibre proper and created the database. But its not aware of my chosen book location.

I feel like I'm going all about the houses and introducing a level of complexity beyond what is required? Before I knuckle down and persist with this, I thought I'd ask and make sure I'm going in the right direction for what I'm trying to achieve?

Does this look like a decent starting point for a first router build?

I'm having a problem with one of the apps that interacts with something I'm hosting. Alternative apps aren't having the same problem and neither is the webpage UI. Having purchased the app, I emailed the developer for some help and they said they didn't know what the issue was and that it could probably fix it if they could access my server. I'm not really comfortable with that though. Should I be?

Having got my Raspberry Pi for Christmas, I was finally able to enter the world of home labs and I'm slowly getting everything up and running.

That said, one thing I was super excited about but hasn't come to fruition was Pi-Hole. That's for two reasons, one my Pi isn't hardwired into the router and two my router kinda sucks (Virgin Media Hub 5).

So I came here to ask for recommendations for a router. One that would allow me to run vLANs and use my Pi for adblocking. Honestly the advice I got was like fire and I was like water.

I wanted a simple cheap solution and everyone was like just spend 🥺

Eventually though, my ignorance waned and I started looking into what the suggestions were, which was essentially buy an N100 Firewall Mini PC with 4 Ethernet Port, load up PFSense or OpenWRT, then buy an Access Point, connect it and profit.

So with my dreams of a £50 plug and play experience down the drain, can someone explain to me how it all works? Why is this the suggestion? My Pi is kinda set and leave. My NAS is set and leave, will a firewall PC be the same? Also why a firewall PC over a second Pi?

I assumed everyone was using Calibre, but recent searches suggest that isn't always the case
